The Drawings(Oil Sketches)

I started by studying a grid of up to several parts. The first was as follows, (note, once all parts have reached a conclusion, 2 ideas that simultaneously work are formed, both of which can link to other less related activities.) First I placed four points on a page, which were then repeated adjacently in all directions to make 4 squares, then I drew a symbol, designed to incorporate a grid, (crucifix is one example.) On the third, the symbol was repeated a number of times, producing patterns that can be reformed into alternate structures. These 3 points were carried over to a 4th, where I started working from observation of structures that are geometric, like fields or pylons. I could then recognise parallel lines of symmetry and apply them to other subjects, which are not directly related to geometry. At this point my drawing started to go in a completely different direction.
